If you aren't sure, don't make any comments on any druid items. Ever. This is hands down ONLY a healing item, which means Restoration.

Comment by TheLogiC

Definately an item for a dreamstate/HT build. Int gives more mana regen with dreamstate than spirit and shorter cast HT is definately a good thing.

For tree well If you dont leave tree form then that haste rating isnt going to do much for you. Consider the other droods before zomg needing it.

This is NOT only for Healing druids, although they should have priority on this (in my opinion only, not for fact, mind you. :P).

There seems to be alot of spellhaste rating leather added in 2.1, and this is something Balance druids would benefit greatly from (Our talented main raid nuke having a 3 second cast).

Besides, one of the balance druid's strenghts is that he or she can drop out of Kaboomkin form in the middle of combat, and with a simple weapon switch, become a very effective healer due to his or her gear supporting +spelldamage AND healing, aswell as mana regeneration and a large mana pool. Items that can serve both the roles as ranged DPS and offhealer, such as this one, is invaluable, and should not be taken lightly to the balance/resto druid. =)

I think Blizzard at last understanded Druids and thier slow healsthis gonna be something VERY useful for resto druids :D

Comment by killbot

Druids have only one slow heal(HT)and it HAS it to be slow since it is the most powerfull in the game.Dreamstate/Healing Touch build all the way.Let's see some more items for this build

Comment by Apollonius

i'm pretty sure its the most powerful BECAUSE its the longest.Kinda like the whole frostbolt/fireball conundrum.

I take it spell haste is the new "it" stat blizz is trying to implement on items?

Comment by Fieryspoon

37 haste rating is equivalent to a 1.76% reduction to cast speed.

With no other haste pieces, your Healing Touch would cast in 2.94 seconds, instead of 3.

Comment by Caboose

The new spell haste mechanics, as of the new 2.2 ptr server, now make this 2.35%

Comment by Ambition

Spell Haste is getting a buff in patch 2.2 from 21 to 15.7 haste rating contributing to a 1% reduction in casting times.

Passive ability value:

2.1 = 1.76% reduction in casting time @ 70.

2.2 = 2.35% reduction in casting time @ 70

This belt fits great with the Druid T6 set, Thunderheart Harness. When you have full set take off the chest and then equip the belt you'll see it's the same.

In 2.4 with spell haste effecting the GCD, it's actually a decent stat for Tree of Life druids. They've always been limited to a 7-second rotation of spells since they're always going to be keeping up a lifebloom stack on the MT. Once you get t5 equivalent or beyond you simply don't need mana regen as a druid, there's more than enough on the gear you already have, so getting spell haste will allow you to get off more spells in that 7 second rotation.

Very good belt, in other words.

The Belt of the Crescent Moon has a lot better stats than this. Too bad it's spell damage and not healing.If you want this belt, but have bad luck with the drops, consider using the crescent moon if it allows you to roll an extra lifebloom. The extra spirit makes up for the lack of healing.
